My laboratory is interesting in using molecular biomarkers to improve diagnosis and detection of prostate cancer in dogs. We are also investigating the pathogenesis of the osteoblastic metastasis of prostate cancer. Currently we are using a canine prostate carcinoma xenograft to evaluate the effects of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition on prostate cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis.
